It would appear not to be a coincidence that trump repeated a Russian talking point shortly after...

[Toddsterpatriot]

You lied and reversed it. Facts are facts, and you people are vocal, walking untruths.

The facts are, Biden stopped a pipeline that would have helped America and allowed a pipeline to be completed that would have helped Putin.

 

[Nobody911]

Trump is playing with the smart KGB guy. KGB guys are trustworthy? I don't think so. Yes, Trump is now like a little boy playing with fire! lol.

Trump himself doesn't want the EU or Zelenskyy to get involved in ending the Russia-Ukraine war is supported by recent developments:

Exclusion from Peace Talks: Trump has been involved in preliminary peace talks with Russian officials in Saudi Arabia without including Ukrainian or European representatives. This exclusion suggests that Trump prefers to handle negotiations directly with Russia, bypassing Ukraine and the EU59.

Public Disagreements: Trump's confrontational meeting with Zelenskyy highlighted his impatience with Ukraine's stance on the war. Trump accused Zelenskyy of being "disrespectful" and threatened to withdraw U.S. support if Ukraine did not make a deal with Russia147.

Shift in U.S. Policy: The Trump administration has shifted away from supporting Ukraine's position at the UN, voting against resolutions that condemn Russia's aggression. This shift indicates a divergence from European allies who continue to support Ukraine89.

Trust in Putin: Trump has expressed trust in Putin's willingness to negotiate a peace agreement, which contrasts with Zelenskyy's skepticism about Putin's intentions16. This trust suggests that Trump may prefer to rely on direct negotiations with Russia rather than involving Ukraine or the EU in the process.

Vladimir Putin has not consistently kept his word in terms of international relations. Here are several reasons why:

Budapest Memorandum: Putin's Russia has violated the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which committed Russia to respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Despite this treaty, Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and has continued to support separatist movements in eastern Ukraine.

Border Treaties: Putin has disregarded a 2004 border treaty with Ukraine, treating it as non-binding. This disregard for international agreements undermines trust in his commitments.

Minsk Agreements: The Minsk Agreements, aimed at resolving the conflict in eastern Ukraine, were repeatedly violated by Russia. These agreements were meant to stabilize the region but failed to achieve lasting peace due to Russia's actions.

Nuclear Non-Proliferation: Russia's actions in Ukraine have undermined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), as Ukraine's decision to give up its nuclear arsenal was based on security guarantees that Russia has not honored.

These examples demonstrate that Putin's adherence to international agreements is inconsistent and often driven by strategic interests rather than a commitment to keeping his word.

Trump will lose the majority of Americans on Ukraine.

MAGA cannot make up for that loss.

 

[Nostra]

MAGA voters caused this.

Your butthurt?

BONUS!

 

[Nostra]

But is not allied with Putin, as our MAGA schlump is.

Link?

Betcha can’t.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

We aren’t allied to Russia. We don’t send them money and weapons, nor do we want to.

Putin said the word "peace". Trump said the word "peace". Therefore they are in agreement and Trump repeated Putin's talking point.

Peace is bad. Peace is Russian. It's Nazi and white supremacist.

his phone conversation with Putin.

Questioning Zelenskyy’s legitimacy​

The meeting – which followed a mutually complimentary phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin just days earlier – was gleefully celebrated in Moscow.

Challenging Zelenskyy’s legitimacy is part of a deliberate ongoing propaganda campaign by Russia to discredit Ukrainian leadership, weaken support for Ukraine from its key allies and remove Zelenskyy – and potentially Ukraine – as a partner in negotiations.

In pushing for Ukraine elections, Trump is falling into Putin-laid trap to delegitimize Zelenskyy

Ukraine’s leader and opposition leaders have said ‘no’ to elections during wartime – and they have the backing of the majority of Ukrainians.

Trump says 'I can't believe I said that' when asked if he still thinks Zelenskyy is a dictator​

President Donald Trump was asked several times on Thursday about comments he made last week, when he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a "dictator," though he oftentimes either ignored the question or could not remember making the statement. Cuz, dementia?

Trump says 'I can't believe I said that' when asked if he still thinks Zelenskyy is a dictator

President Trump, while meeting with U.K. PM Keir Starmer, dodged questions on calling Zelenskyy a dictator, addressed tariffs and was extended an invite to visit the royal family.

So, Putin has trump's ear. Which kinda puts a lot of things in context. Going all the way back to when trump took Putin's side in Helsinki. There's a lot of mutual admiration between the two. One being a dictator, one aspiring to it.

Trump is a Russian asset. Always has been. And they don't even need to incentivize him to do so.

He never could have beat Hillary without those Russian memes on Facebook.

It had to be the memes!!!

There were three main reasons, slugger. All of which have been gone over adnauseum here.
The real question is, after getting in again, why is he doubling down on being a Russian asset?
You would have thought he learned his lesson the first time.

Is that why he shut down construction on Nord Stream 2, Putin wanted him to?

Yes, Putin wanted Trump to shut it down.

 

[Correll]

It was Reagan's people who sent the commies munitions, yes.

Mmm, nope. You are lying. They sent weapons to the contras to kill the commies. THe dems tried to stop that.


See, it is one thing to have a differance of opinion or disagree on policy.

But when one side insists on lying, ie you lefties, that takes the political conflict to a lower level.


We can disagree on matters of policy and opinion, and still respect each other, and be civil, but if you are going to refuse to be honest about what you want, and to keep talking shit on people, then we have a DIFFERENT type of conflict.


And that choice was yours. So don't whine when it comes back on you and is unpleasant for you.

The MAGA lie as a matter of habit, of life, like breathing.

Gee, Berg...do you think it's a "coincidence" that Putin invaded Ukraine under Obama and under Biden but didn't under Trump? Obama sent Ukraine blankets instead of weapons and Biden said he was OK with a minor incursion. Trump sent Ukraine weapons. Yet you on the left STILL claim that it's Trump that's Putin's puppet! It's always been a stupid narrative and still is!

Putin thought he would have free reign in 2021 with a Trump presidency and would have launched on Trump's inauguration day.

He had to build up, wait, get maximum advantage, and then still failed.

Trump is finally in office, and Putin is still failig.

Can't address the fact that Putin DIDN'T invade Ukraine while Trump was President...can you, John?
Does the fact that Trump is actually trying to stop a war enrage you that much?
